Or, is it perhaps a square bracket? We get strange mappings of ASCII
square brackets which are listed in some publications I have seen of
alleged RFC-822 (HP DeskManager Programmatic Access Guide shows the
familiar '< >' delimiters as SQUARE BRACKETS in their RFC822 syntax,
and that's what the stupid son-of-a-so-and-so generates, leaving me
to translate ["Jeff KELL"@UTCHP1/CC.BITNET] into <[log in to unmask]>
and vice versa).
